“The Consortium Director of Operations and Finance, CEO and Board Organizational (finance) committee review the first draft of the 990. The full Board of Directors review the final draft of the 990 prior to submission.”
“Board members complete a conflict of interest disclosure annually and any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts are discussed prior to Board meetings where an approval may be made.”
“Prior to hiring the Chief Executive Officer in August 2020, the Consortium compiled data regarding compensation levels for individuals in comparable positions. The Board assessed the comparability data prior to determining the compensation offered to the preferred candidate. The Board also relied on a number of other factors in making its determination regarding the CEOs compensation: 1) the experience of numerous Board members working in nonprofit and governmental entities to ensure that the compensation being offered to the CEO was consistent with the range of compensation and benefits provided to the head of similar organizations; and 2) the independent Boards assessment of the CEOs capabilities and qualifications to ensure that the total remuneration opportunity for the Consortium's CEO was within a reasonable range of competitive market practices applicable to like positions among like organizations under like circumstance. The compiled compensation data for comparable positions was documented and is part of the Consortium's corporate record, as are the terms of the employment offer. Additionally, and consistent with Consortium bylaws, a record of all Directors of the Consortium who voted to approve the compensation structure and employment offer for the CEO was recorded and is part of the Consortium's corporate record. In the fall of 2021, the Consortium Board of Directors approved a CEO evaluation process requiring that the committee recommending CEO compensation to the Board of Direction reference benchmark data on CEO compensation and that this data be updated at least once every two years. CEO salary benchmarking data was most recently updated in fall of 2022.”
“The salary and compensation for the Director of Operations and Finance, who also serves as Corporate Secretary was determined by a performance review evaluated by the CEO.”
“As required by the Nonprofit Integrity Act in California and IRS regulations, certain documents are available to the public upon request.”
“In June 2024, the Consortium Board approved the creation of a delegated authority Audit committee, who would be responsible for selection of the first audit firm.”
“The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d). The Organization has evaluated its current tax positions as of June 30, 2024 and is not aware of any significant uncertain tax positions for which a reserve would be necessary. The Organizations tax returns are generally subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.”

In collaboration with Environmental Science Associates, the Consortium conducted research and interviews with experts in telemetered water monitoring, resulting in a comprehensive report on lessons learned and best practices. The team also interviewed water leaders in California to develop recommendations for watersheds for the Telemetry Research Unit to pilot a telemetered water monitoring network. After selecting the pilot watershed, the team began outreach with interested parties in the watershed, to inform recommendations for the pilot project. The team held a virtual informational meeting and an in-person meeting to collect feedback about challenges, existing monitoring networks, and priorities in the area. |
